The Best Hotel in Abrantes, Estremadura and the Ribatejo

A 10-minute walk from the castle, this 1950s-era hotel has been transformed into a comfortable boutique lodging. There are sweeping views of the Tagus Valley from the spacious lounge and its wrap-around balcony, as well as from the terraces of about half of the smartly outfitted guest rooms. There's a gym, a well-equipped spa, and an outdoor pool (open June–September). The hotel restaurant serves regional food, and the bar is open until late.
